Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese Sandwich

Another great Ina recipe foryou.  I changed it to use store bought peppers instead of amikng myself.  This snadwich has the great flavors of pepper, salitness from the capers and the awesome tang of goat cheese.  If you want a great vegetarian sandwich to serve at a party this is it.  It was great for my Ladies Lucnch but also went over well for poker night with the guys. 

1 12 oz. jar sweet roasted red bell peppers
2 tablespoons good olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons kosher salt 

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons drained capers

1 large ciabatta bread, halved horizontally

1 (11-ounce) garlic-and-herb or plain goat cheese at room temperature

8 to 10 large basil leaves, cut into slivers (chiffonade) 

3 thin slices red onion 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Here's how:

Drain the jar of red peppers into a colander. 

Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Place the drained peppers into a small bowl.

Pour the oil and vinegar mixture over the peppers. Stir in the capers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to allow the flavors to blend.

This is before the fridge.

This is after sitting for a few hours.

 To assemble the sandwiches, spread the bottom half of the loaf with the goat cheese.

Add a layer of peppers and then a layer of basil leaves.

 Separate the onions into rings and spread out on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with the top half of the ciabatta and cut into individual servings.
